How durable do the "heavy duty" covers seem? I believe I had the cheapest model and it only lasted 2-3 summers.

well the ones I had with the clear covers only lasted about a year between hail storms and the zippers breaking. This cover is much thicker, and the zippers are also a heavier duty. Have only had it up a couple months but no issues so far, seems like it will last much longer.

The one that came with our firepit became very brittle and tore after the affects of the summer sun and the winter (even though we also covered it with a tarp in the winter). We ordered the cover this spring and it is much more durable. The vinyl is thicker and seems to have a slight "meshing" on the backside which may help it survive the Wisconsin winter(s). Time will only tell.

You can try buying an extra large cover and slide it over. Measure the width of the Bar B Q and see if there is one out there big enough. My cover is 2 1/2 years old. It has faded, but no rips. You can't leave it out in the winter.

I received mine back in the summer, my 3 year old pulls on it all the time, it has proved to be very durable! I am surprised at it's durability.

Last cover lasted about 5-6 years or so. Heavy snowfall last two years really wrecked it hard though. Bungee cords rot faster, have to replace those every 2-3 years or so. Typical south Jersey weather is what it sees. Nothing too drastic.

I used mine all summer never had any problems TV works great kept the dust and rain and the heat off of it. But I have a pegola where the TV is mounted and I mounted it in the corner so it's more shaded too.But love the cover

Hello, I find this cover to be of a great quality...it has been under intense sun, snow and wind. At the moment is not cracks or holes

I live a few houses off the lake in NH, and it held up ok for the first year in wind and snow. I have a few rooftop units. I did notice a little tear where it clearly caught a sharp edge...I don't know that any cover would hold to that. I'll duct tape it this year and I'm sure it will be fine.

All covers will eventually wear out from sun and weather. To last a bit longer i spray mine with waterproof boot spray

I disagree. The cover will not last long. One summer will dry and crack it. I dont know if other covers are available for purchase

We just bought this one last summer. Based on the way it is constructed however, I expect to get several years use from it. Good luck

We have had a few good wind storms maybe 40+ mph and it has held up well no issues except the cover comes with little boots that you tie onto the gutter spouts before the cover goes on and one of them came off and caused a small hole. Most likely my fault. Just need to find a better way to tie on the boots. No complaints though.

I would invest in a cheap cover to be honest. The one I got on Amazon works great, even in high wind. Brinkmann 812-1092-S Universal Grill Cover, 55-Inch. It has a draw string on the bottom to keep it in place nicely.

its been with me for almost a year now. i made my own cover. things are fine with me, no rust. i reccomend that you make a thik cover to prevent it from heat and rain.

The cover handles pretty well. I've had some windy snow storms here and it handled well. It has vents built-in to the cover that helps a lot. And it has a lot of straps to keep the cover in your trailer

We have had it for a few months and it is a very nice heavy duty cover. I would assume if it will be in the direct sun every day it might fade some.

The cover that comes with it goes around it when umbrella not in place. The cover is pretty flimsy- ours had a small tear in it within about a month so we leave uncovered at this point & we live on a lake in the south so it's very exposed to the elements & holding up ok. I still love this lounger for the price we paid after pricing MANY others - inexpensive in comparison.
